Acidity function of methanesulfonic acid solutions in ethyl acetate

The acidity function of solutions of methanesulfonic acid (MSA) in ethyl acetate (EA) was measured by the indicator method at 25 °C in the 0.4—100% concentration range. Molecular complexes formed by MSA and EA show a higher ionizing activity than H₅O₂ ⁺ ions. The relative ionizing activity of the MSA·EA complexes and ion pairs formed by MSA and DMF was determined.     

The First Online Capillary Electrophoresis-Microscale Thermophoresis (CE-MST) Method for the Analysis of Dynamic Equilibria—The Determination of the Acidity Constant of Fluorescein Isothiocyanate

This article presents the first successful application of a capillary electrophoresis-microscale thermophoresis tandem technique (CE-MST) for determining the values of equilibrium constant, realized by connecting online the CE and MST instruments using a fused-silica capillary. The acid-base dissociation of fluorescein isothiocyanate, expressed by the acidity constant value (pK_a), was used as a model. The measurement procedure consisted of introducing a mixture containing the analyte and a deliberately added interferent into the CE capillary, electrophoretic separation of the analyte from the interferent, the detection of the analyte with a CE-integrated detector, detection with a MST detector, and then stopping the flow temporarily by turning off the voltage source to conduct the thermophoretic measurement. The analysis of migration times, peak areas and MST responses obtained concurrently for the same sample allowed us to determine the pK_a value using three independent methods integrated within one instrumentation. The analyte was effectively separated from the interferent, and the acidity values turned out to be consistent with each other. An attempt was also made to replace the standard commercial CE instrument with a home-made portable CE setup. As a result, the similar pK_a value was obtained, at the same time proving the possibility of increasing cost efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Overall, the CE-MST technique has a number of limitations, but its unique analytical capabilities may be beneficial for some applications, especially when sample separation is needed prior to the thermophoretic measurement.

The cyclization of vicinal 1-amino-2-acylvinylated derivatives of aromatic amines

A general method for the synthesis of substituted fused polycyclic compounds containing a 4-alkylamino or 4-dialkylaminopyridine cycle has been proposed. The method includes the addition of primary or secondary amines to vicinal (acylethynyl)arylamines followed by the cyclization of the adducts under acidic or basic catalysis conditions. Various aminonaphthoquinolinediones and aminoquinolines have been prepared in high yields by this method.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and complexing properties ofcis,cis-1,3,5-tri-[2-(diphenylphosphinyI)ethylamino]cyclohexane

A novel polydentate phosphorus-containing complexing agent,cis,cis-1,3,5-tri[2-(diphenyl-phosphinyl)ethylamino]cyclohexane, has been prepared on the basis ofcis,cis-1,3,5-triamino-cyclohexane. The method of potentiometric titration in an aqueous—organic medium (70% ethanol, ionic strength 0.01M LiNO₃, 298 K) has been used to study the acid-base and complexing properties of the title compound. The ligand thus prepared forms 11 complexes with Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ni²⁺ cations; formation of hydroxocomplexes MOHL⁺ has been observed in the case of Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

质子酸的酸性强弱比较

酸碱质子理论是大学无机化学教学中最重要的概念之一,溶液中的酸碱强弱的比较虽然可以通过查找酸碱解离常数来得到,但在数据缺失情况下的定性比较酸碱强弱在教学中也很重要,而且这种比较可以帮助学生理解物质结构与性质之间的相关性。本文根据质子酸碱的化学组成和分子结构分析它们的酸碱性,并主要根据分子结构信息,包括键的极性、键的强度、键的离域、氢键、分子中键的环境等,推导、比较它们酸碱性的相对强弱。

A New Water Soluble Calixarene: 5,11,17,23-tetrasulphonato-25,27-di(hydroxycarbonylmethoxy)-26, 28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene. A Thermodynamic and Spectroscopic Investigation of Its Proton and Copper(II) Complexes

A new water soluble receptor 5,11,17,23-tetrasulphonato-25,27-di(hydroxycarbonylmethoxy)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene was synthesized andcharacterized and its proton and copper(II) complexes were studied andcompared with the analogous species of the fully carboxylated ligand5,11,17,23-tetrasulphonato-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(hydroxycarbonylmethoxy)calix[4]arene. H° and S° values are crucial for understanding thepeculiar acid-base properties of the ligand. EPR spectra together with theUV-VIS spectral data reveal the coordination stereochemistry of thecopper(II) species.     

Solid Acid-Base Control of Inorganic/Organic Hybrids by Inorganic Components for Molecule-Selectivity

Solid acid-base properties of methylsiloxane-based inorganic/organic hybrids were controlled by incorporation of inorganic components other than Si into methylsiloxane networks. The effect of different inorganic components on the solid acid-base properties was estimated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The deprotonation tends to occur in the order Si < Al < Nb inorganic components, suggesting that the acidity increases in the same order. Methylsiloxane-based hybrids with solid acid-base properties were also synthesized by incorporating inorganic components derived from metal alkoxides. Hammett indicators revealed that the solid acidity increased in the order Si < Al < Nb inorganic components, which was consistent with the results of first-principles calculations. Preliminary experiments revealed that the methylsiloxane-based hybrids also provided a solid basic nature by containing Ca and Y inorganic components derived from metal alkoxides. The acidic hybrids were found to have Brønsted acid sites from the FT-IR experiments of adsorbed pyridine on the hybrids.     

Preparation of Silicates Using HSi(OC2H5)3 and Their NO x -Adsorption Behavior

The preparation and NO-adsorption/desorption behavior of Li, Ca and Ba silicates were investigated aiming at the application to a NO_x-absorbent. Li silicate was prepared by reaction of HSi(OC₂H₅)₃ with aqueous lithium silicate solution (LSS). Ca and Ba silicates were prepared from gels obtained using CH₃Si(OC₂H₅)₃, Si(OC₂H₅)₄, HSi(OC₂H₅)₃ and alkaline-earth alkoxides. The surface of these silicates indicated the solid basicity of H₀ = 9 and adsorbed the acidic gas of NO. FT-IR spectra of the silicates adsorbing NO showed the absorption peaks in the range of 1300–1600 cm^{– 1} corresponding to ionic and covalent nitrate NO₃^–. The complete desorption of adsorbed NO species occurred above 500°C in the Li silicate, above 500°C in the Ca and Ba silicates prepared using CH₃Si(OC₂H₅)₃, and above 700°C in the Ba and Ca silicates prepared using Si(OC₂H₅)₄. Regarding the Ca and Ba silicates, the difference in siloxane structure is thought to cause the difference in adsorption state and desorption behavior of NO.
